Is there any way that the Chola Kingsom in southern India could by AD 2000 be the worlds strongest power with incredible reach.

What, in your analysis, bookended this five-year period?Having ANY country be a Hyperpower is incredibly difficult; IOTL there has only ever been one case in which a country could in any way beconsidered a Hyperpower, that being United States, and even then that was only one for five years as the result of the only other Superpower (and thus the only one of comparable strength and potential) collapsing and the rest of the world having basically been in one or the other sphere or neutral (and none of the neutrals were more than Regional Powers at the time).

I think it was some other South Indian state, but that state never became a Hyperpower.Interesting question, doesn't The Years of Rice and Salt have something similar to this happening?

A Travancore-led union, IIRC, but not an hyperpower, although fairly powerful.
Travancore was never a large enough kingdom to be a great power.
